Photos of the week: August 20, 2026

Aug 20, 2026 | Photos of the Week

Middlebury Community Music Center this past Friday staged “The Grunch,” a musical starring summer camp students at the Champlain Valley Unitarian Universalist Society in Middlebury. Under the direction of Jen Allred, more than a dozen youngsters learned their parts, rehearsed the show and then played their roles. Here, Elliot Seay, left, and Emmitt Haselton get into their character. Independent photo/Steve James
Artist Matt Heywood is at it again. The Middlebury man who painted giant flowers on a building next to the Middlebury Amtrak stop and a huge frog on wall of a building in Middlebury’s Mill Street, this week installed a third beautiful mural bringing the natural world to downtown Middlebury. On Bakery Lane Heywood installed a huge painted panel depicting stalks of wheat waving in the breeze.
A ruby-throated hummingbird feasts in a thistle patch on Downingsville Road in Lincoln recently. The photographer managed to freeze the fast-moving wings by taking the shot at 1/20,000th of a second. Photo by Dale Cockrell

Six-Year-Old Malcolm Caldwell of Monkton looks up for a little coaching as he readies to make his putt on the 9th hole of the mini-golf course on Bristol’s Main Street Saturday afternoon during the Pocock Rocks festival. Behind him, Sabin Wood, 7, of Bristol reaches for his own ball. The street was closed down for live music performances, delicious food and drink, face painting and shopping.
